I don't subscribe to the theory that any game that is not conference game means nothing. I expect North Dakota to have a chance to win every time they take the court, the field, or the ice. I'm a pretty patient guy, often apologetic, and I've seen alot of positives in several of the losses, but I certainly don't expect to get run out of the building by the likes of NDSU or even UNI. I don't think pooh-poohing a 1-6 start as "meaningless" is the best frame of mind...................

At the rate things are going, I'd be shocked if North Dakota averages 2,000 per game this season.

I haven't been this disgusted with this team in quite some time. They just laid down in the second half and let FU have their way with them. Lot's of standing flat-footed and watching...............

That's because we are lazy and careless.

Last year must have been a fluke, because Fargo has rolled all over us in 2010 and 2012. The Summit League owns us..................

UND is lazy

Ya me too. I bought the pass before the women's game and that was basically unwatchable, today it won't even try to load. Money well spent......................

5 North Dakota 5 Fargo U 15:27 1H

I don't think Fargo is overwhelmingly superior to this North Dakota team, but on paper and given what I've seen from the Sioux so far, I think this game will be an uphill battle for UND. But I think a win in this game would do wonders for the attitude of the players heading into conference play in the coming weeks.....

Frustrating thing for me right now is that in the Hawaii and SDSU games, North Dakota got off to terribly slow starts and had to play catch-up all night but did have a chance to win each game at the end. The opposite was true last night against KC, got off to a good start, had a 9 point lead midway through the first half, and then let the Kangaroos back in it to the point where we were playing catch-up again. It is not so much unlike what we saw from the football team this season............good play for certain stretches, countered by significant stretches of uninspired play.

I agree 100% about Archer's contributions. The class of Archer, Wilmer, Allard, Goodman, etc, was built up to unrealistic expectaions and have taken alot of flack. But I certainly wouldn't want to be without them at this point, specifically Wilmer and Archer. Traylor had looked quite athletic and more physical around the rim prior to his injury. He only played 2 minutes tonight. Webb is a fantastically talented player. But he is overworked in my opinion. Anderson, Antwi, and even Huff are all very capable of handling the ball.

Interesting...............

I saw Traylor out their briefly tonight. What is the story there? Is he injured?

When is the last time that North Dakota had: A) A freshman starting at QB and/or B) A 4 year starter at QB

Sioux shot 50% from the field, and were 6-16 from 3. They only turned the ball over 10 times. 14-30 from the FT line and out-rebounded 41-28. Obviously the FT's were atrocious, but as far as I am concerned the rebounding margin in this game was just as big a factor to this loss. We are much bigger than KC, and have pretty much outrebounded everybody else all season. KC was also pathetic at the charity stripe tonight and turned the ball over more, but they just flat out worked harder and hustled more. How do you give up that offensive rebound on the KC freethrow with 17 seconds left? Very frustrating game. I hate to single guys out, and especially tonight when everybody struggled at the FT line. Webb is a huge asset and key piece to this team, but this is two consecutive games where his FT shooting has for all intensive purposes cost the team the game.

64 North Dakota 67 KC 1:56 2H

57 North Dakota 65 KC 7:02 2H Haven't seen much to make me believe they are going to go on a run and pull this thing out.....................

KC shooting well, and really just kind of out-hustling the Sioux from what I can see............................... They are hitting tough shots, and getting easy ones as well.

52 North Dakota 59 KC 11:12 2H

40 North Dakota 48 KC 17:03 2H

We are aware. But I think it is highly unfair that the schools from the bigger cities recieve preferential treatment from the Summit. The school from Fargo should benefit equally from this ingenious marketing strategy..................

33 North Dakota 37 KC Half Pretty sloppy. Lots of turnovers and lots of missed free throws.
